Chapter 271: Purpose
"I'm a cook who can't get on the table, I don't have any skills since I was a child, I have a lot of cooking skills, I am a person who mixes rice, if Min'er's father is here, there is a man at home to support, I am not afraid of things, but we are now orphans and widows, not to mention whether we can earn anything to make a living, even if we can live a peaceful and stable life, live well, and live a good life, it will be fine." The daughter-in-law of the Li family has become stable this time, and she has lost the little flattery in her tone just now.
"But, with all these ideas, they don't want us to have a good time." Saying this, the daughter-in-law of the Li family suddenly had a little more hatred in her tone, and her tears poured out this time, not crying, only pouting in her eyes.
"Mother Xie, the housekeeper of the kitchen in the East Courtyard, was assigned from the Internal Affairs Office, and she is a housekeeper who is a housekeeper, and she shows off her strength on weekdays, bullying this and not getting used to that, I heard," Speaking of which, the daughter-in-law of the Li family deliberately paused, she wanted to see if Qin Yao would ask what was behind this news.
Qin Yao knew this trick as soon as she heard it, cut, my curiosity is not used to do this, and the five embroidery needles didn't pierce me, as long as you don't go to heaven in the kitchen, I won't take the initiative to ask. Qin Yao drank tea and ate snacks slowly, blowing her nails and brushing her hair.
The daughter-in-law of the Li family waited for a while, Qin Yao's silence surprised her, she felt that the women in the courtyard of the inner house were all curious, not curious, and boring, I don't know if Qin Yao was not curious or the rank was too high, she couldn't stop for too long, she couldn't answer for too long, and she had to get stuck.
"I heard that this Xie's mother's husband's surname is Meng, and he is the son of Meng's family, and he was originally the steward of Meng Xiang's brother's family."
Qin Yao was shocked, surnamed Meng, Meng Xiang? Mrs. Meng's? What's the matter, there is still the internal response of the Meng Mansion in the house. Although she was shocked in her heart, Qin Yao still didn't react lightly on her face.
The daughter-in-law of the Li family saw that Qin Yao was silent, and continued, "Mother Xie's husband was originally on an errand in Brother Meng Xiang's house, and there was a nobleman from that family, who is the current queen. ”
Oh, that's the point. Qin Yao suddenly understood that Mother Xie was not only assigned by the Internal Affairs Bureau, but also might be the queen's person!
According to the information we know now, ordinary people are about to shoot the case, the hot water for the bath is carried from the east kitchen, there are five embroidery needles in it, the kitchen manager in the east courtyard is Mother Xie, and Mother Xie is the person who holds her own identity and is the queen, hehe, sure enough, the one who harms people is Mother Xie! Of course, the above speculation is a routine operation.
Qin Yao is not an ordinary person, Qin Yao's speculation never plays cards according to the ideas of ordinary people, the above inference is very direct and has a brain, as long as the brain is running, you can think of it, the means of five needles are very shallow and untechnical, and you don't need to turn around to let people touch Mother Xie by the needle. Unless Mother Xie was ready to fight Qin Yao head-on, it would be too unsmart to rashly use this method when she couldn't figure out the enemy's situation.
So for what the daughter-in-law of the Li family said, Qin Yao felt that the background of the relationship between the characters was true, but the daughter-in-law of the Li family deliberately did not extend, as long as she strung together the details in her heart, if she really got angry and went to confront someone, she would also be countered because of empty words.
Looking at it this way, Mother Xie is not necessarily the culprit, but the daughter-in-law of the Li family is obviously the same as the little girl Min'er, who knows that there is something in the water. So what is in the water, who knows this point best, it must be the person who put the needle in.
"So Mother Xie's identity is special? It's no wonder that the people in the Internal Affairs Office are more or less faceless, and they are higher than the average servant woman's family in each house, and these are nothing, not to mention that since she was chosen to manage the east kitchen, it was also agreed by Steward Wu, and she is also a person with a bit of skill, and the affairs of governing the family should be done by those who can do it. ”
Qin Yao is pretending not to understand, I will listen to what you say, you want me to say the so-called deep meaning, no way!
The daughter-in-law of the Li family was stunned, it is impossible for the two princesses not to understand, such a simple logical relationship, after a little thought, you can know the reason inside, why didn't the second princess squeak, did she really not understand or pretended not to understand? Do you not understand or don't want to care, or don't dare to care?
Su He was a little dizzy when he listened to the conversation between Qin Yao and the Li family's daughter-in-law, what these two people said was endless, what is there to study about the origin of a Xie mother. Mother Xie, the chubby and fierce woman in the kitchen of the East Courtyard, what is there to study.
"Mother Xie is not only in charge of the kitchen in the East Courtyard, but also in charge of the purchase of various utensils and items such as the people in the two princes' mansions. Especially, when the big kitchen was not used earlier, the expenses in the house were all taken from the kitchen in the east courtyard, and the monthly money of mothers and daughters-in-law everywhere was also managed by Mother Xie, saying that it was not good to take down people's affairs and annoy Wu Steward. ”
"If the big kitchen is used now, it will also be paid from the east courtyard." Qin Yao said without a head or a tail.
"Mother Xie meant, but Steward Wu said that the second prince is married, and the master is married, what kind of rules should there be in this mansion, and what kind of rules should be followed, otherwise it will be spread out, making people think that the second prince's mansion does not have a master who is in charge of internal affairs, and it is not good for the second prince, so the purchase expenses of the big kitchen must be divided. Once distinguished, Mother Xie has no reason to continue to manage these, the kitchen in the east courtyard has always accounted for two parts before, one of which should be counted as a large kitchen for the masters. ”
The daughter-in-law of the Li family said, raised her eyes and secretly glanced at Qin Yao, Qin Yao caught her gaze, but she didn't squeak or respond.
The daughter-in-law of the Li family felt that seeing that at this level, if she wanted to achieve her goal, it didn't seem to work to lead Qin Yao step by step, Qin Yao was too calm, but she came to the second princess by herself, for so long, if things didn't progress, even if she took Min'er back to the kitchen later, it would not be a good thing to wait for her, the matter had come to this point, the road was chosen by herself, and she had to finish it.
"The big kitchen has been useless before, everyone eats in the kitchen of the east courtyard, boiling water, vegetables, fruits, grains and rice are also used in the kitchen of the east courtyard. This is because the second prince does not eat and dine in the house, and there is no extra manpower to manage, now the second prince has married, and it just so happens that the wife of the housekeeper Wu has also returned from the Zhuangzi, the second prince said before, if there is another housekeeping in the house that needs to be managed, it will be handed over to the lady of the housekeeper Wu to deal with. ”
Qin Yao felt that these contents were not enough to explain the inside story, most of them were things that he had known or knew for a long time and did not affect the overall situation, so he simply continued to remain silent.
The daughter-in-law of the Li family seems to be making up her mind, and the words have already been said to this point, if she doesn't vomit or be unhappy, she won't be able to end up if she doesn't say it.
